"The last general, the last general originally wanted to compete with the Zhuozhou soldiers and horses, but General Liu was singing gold behind his back, which ruined the morale of our army, so the last general had to withdraw!" Cao Yuanrang saw that Luo Yi's face had begun to darken, and he didn't dare to take all the responsibility alone, so he lowered his voice and dragged the strong general Liu Yifang into the water.

"Ziyi, is there such a thing?" Hearing that his soldiers and horses were driven back like ducks by the other party, Luo Yi laughed instead of anger, turned his head, and asked another member of his command, the love general.

"General Yu, it is indeed the gold ordered by the last general. On the other side of the river is the Zhuozhou County soldiers led by Guo Xuan, as long as our Tiger Ben Iron Cavalry makes a move, he will definitely be easily killed. It's just that the last general thinks that the war can't be started lightly. Zhuangwu General Liu Yifang has followed Luo Yi for many years, knows the temperament of the other party, thinks about it, and replied loudly.

The Tiger Ben Iron Cavalry is the sharpest in the world, even against the Boling Army Headquarters led by Li Xu himself, he may not lose, let alone the thousands of county soldiers under Guo Xuan's department. As a member of Youzhou's generals, Liu Yifang was as rebellious as his young colleagues. But compared to Cao Yuan's young generation who let them shout and kill at every turn, he undoubtedly has a little more calmness that he has been trained over the years. "The last general is not afraid of the surname Guo, but he doesn't want to give people the truth. The last general heard that Li Zhongjian and Yang Yichen had a close correspondence, and Xue Shixiong's father and son are obviously short of mouths now!" He glanced at Luo Yi's face and slowly completed the reason for his retreat without a fight.

As long as the Tiger Horse and the Boling Army go to war, the soldiers and horses of Youzhou will definitely face a situation of one enemy and three enemies. This is a well-known fact under Luo Yi's command. Although the Tiger Horse may not have lost to the three coalition forces on the battlefield, the too scarce population has led to a shortage of grain and grass reserves in the counties of Youzhou. If the war drags on for a long time, there is no need to compete on the battlefield, just with the word "drag", the Li, Xue, and Yang families can drag the soldiers and horses of Youzhou to death.

"That Ziyi thinks, when is the opportunity for our army to go south. If you just blindly endure it, can you endure the money, silk and rice grain? Luo Yi also understood in his heart that Liu Yifang's disposition was completely correct, but thinking about how many famous generals and lords he had never lost in front of many famous generals and ministers, he was forced to tie his hands and feet by a young man the same age as his son, and it was really difficult to swallow this breath.

The last general suggested that Luo Gong might as well refer to the practice of the six counties of Boling, recruit displaced people, and reclaim the land. When the population grows and the people are solid, the treasury will naturally be full. At that time, no matter where Luo Gong's sword is pointed, the last general will inevitably follow his command! General Zhongwu's infantry bowed to Luo Yi and admonished him bluntly.

It was not because of his personal affection for Li Xu that he didn't want to see friction between Youzhou and Boling. He thinks more about the long-term interests of Youzhou. The Central Plains cannot be conquered by force alone, and the examples of the Xianbei predecessors of the Bu family are clearly there. Chasing the Central Plains requires time, benefit and people's hearts, and at present, no matter the time and people's hearts, they are not on the side of Youzhou.

"You've said that many times!" Luo Yi glanced at his subordinate generals, and waved his hand impatiently. "The surname Li is only 20 years old this year, and the old man is over half a hundred years old. He waited, but the old man may not be able to wait......."

"Who says daddy is old? It doesn't take too long, in my opinion, I'm afraid that as long as a year and a half, the situation will be bright! A vibrant voice came from the door, interrupting Luo Yi's self-pity.

Everyone looked up when they heard the sound and saw the young general Luo Cheng slowly walking in from the outside with a sunshine on his back. is different from Luo Yi, who is full of wind and frost, the young general Luo Cheng has a white face, phoenix eyes and silkworm eyebrows, a slim and long waist, and a natural romantic appearance. But those who are familiar with Luo Cheng know that this son is not inferior to his father in terms of martial arts and strategy, and his actions have nothing to do with those embroidered pillow-like sons.

"I've seen my father, I've seen all the generals!" Luo Cheng walked to the handsome case, first saluted his father, and then hugged his fists and made a Luo circle around. This move is inconsistent with the etiquette system in the army, but Luo Yi has no way to take his son. Luo Cheng was born to Luo Yi when he was thirty-five years old, and he is the only male in the family so far. The excessive indulgence of the elders has cultivated his arrogance, but at the same time, it has also created his heroic temperament that despises the world.

"Where did you go, didn't you hear the Chinese army's drums?" Luo Yi stretched his face and asked with a little dissatisfaction.

"I just went to inspect the Sanggan River, and I happened to meet Guo Xuan, the county of Zhuojun, on the other side of the river, so I stepped forward to say hello to him!" Luo Cheng smiled and reported slowly.

He spoke in a flat tone, but it really startled everyone. Yesterday the two sides just clashed, and today Luo Chengcheng and Guo Xuan "encountered" again, according to Luo Cheng's usual temper, I am afraid that the two sides have already fought a vicious battle.

"Cousin, you cut off Guo Xuan's head......" Cao Yuanrang heard that Luo Cheng met Guo Xuan, and his spirit immediately rose a little higher, and he stepped forward and asked with a salivating face.

"He was ordered to come and make amends for us, why should I cut off his head?" Luo Cheng shook his head lightly and asked rhetorically.

"Oh!" "Whew!" Hearing this, Cao Yuan's face was full of disappointment, but several other generals breathed a sigh of relief. Although Guo Xuan, the commander of Zhuojun County, is not a henchman under Li Zhongjian, he is dispatched by the chief of Boling after all. If Luo Cheng kills the displaced people just because of the question of their belonging, I am afraid that Youzhou will have to face a protracted revenge.

"He was ordered to come and make amends? On whose orders, what is the compensation method? Luo Yi heard that Boling was soft, and his mood was a little lighter, so he sat up straight behind the handsome case and asked with a smile.

"It's definitely not the general order of the Grand Governor of Boling. The one surnamed Li has just returned to Boling, and he will not immediately go north again. But there are indeed people behind Guo Xuan's back, and he met me today with a very polite attitude. Thirty carts of grain were ordered to be pushed across the river, which was counted as the ransom for those who fled a few days ago! The corners of Luo Cheng's mouth turned up slightly, as if he knew all the thoughts of his opponent.

"So many people have fled the river, and thirty carts of grain he wants to know about it. The surname Guo is cheap! Among the generals, one of them snorted angrily.

"We can't take this grain. Otherwise, it's too much to underestimate our Youzhou! Someone raised his voice, lest Luo Yi's father and son couldn't hear their words clearly.

"I've ordered someone to put it into storage, and people have shipped it all the way here, so we can't let people transport it back!" Luo Cheng swept around with his gaze and said generously.

"It's okay, our Tiger Horse is short of military rations!" Luo Yi heard that his son had already made his own decision, and he didn't want to sweep his face in public, so he reluctantly nodded and responded.

"I also suggest that if there is a similar conflict between the two sides, take this as an example!" Seeing that his father did not object to his decision, Luo Cheng smiled and continued to add.

This has touched Luo Yi's bottom line. From the summer to the present, thousands of people have fled from Jixian County to Gu'an, and the other party has sent 30 truckloads of grain to end the matter, which is equivalent to buying thousands of Dingkou at the price of more than one pound of grain per person. If everything is at this price, Boling's harvest for a year is enough to buy the entire Youzhou!

He pressed the table with the palm of his hand and stood up, ready to teach his son a lesson in public. But seeing his son's confident smile, his anger instantly became cold again. "If you have any plans, you might as well come and hear about it. Know for the Father that you will never suffer! Behind the smile, there is a storm hidden at the same time.

"Tens of thousands of displaced people have just been resettled in Boling, and there may not be much surplus food in their hands. The reason why they sent food here was just to avoid the immediate loss of face on both sides. I thought it would be more beneficial for us to wait for an extra year and a half, so I agreed to him! Luo Chengchong smiled at the group, and explained his reasons to everyone in a calm and unhurried attitude, "I heard that General Xue Shixiong has been suffering a loss at the hands of Dou Jiande when he suppressed bandits last year, and now he can only eat two small bowls of rice a day. Greasy and alcoholic drinks are untouchable! ”

"Well, Xue Shixiong, he's old too!" Luo Yi slowly sat back on the Hu bed, and the expression on his face was a little more guilty in addition to unwillingness and anger. The reason why Xue Shixiong lost to Dou Jiande last summer was not due to a mistake in command, but because Luo Yi's Tiger Warrior took advantage of his battle with the Liukou and took the opportunity to take over the three northeastern counties. Losing his old nest, how can Xue Shixiong still have the heart to suppress bandits? was directly pursued by Dou Jiande from the Juma River to Sangganshui, and more than half of the soldiers and horses were lost.

"In my opinion, I'm afraid General Xue won't survive this winter!" Luo Cheng saw that his father listened to his advice, and his mood was relieved, and he spoke more methodically. "The right guard horse didn't have much combat effectiveness, and once Xue Shixiong died, it didn't pose a threat to us. At that time, as long as the father-in-law sends a partial division in the name of organizing the funeral for his old friend, he can easily take over the other third of Zhuo County! ”

"Funeral? Wouldn't that be even more irresponsible? Cao Yuanrang saw that Luo Cheng was unwilling to start a war with Boling, and refuted it desperately.

"Yuan Rang, you go back first!" Luo Yi, the general manager of Youzhou, knocked on the table and ordered.

"Yes, the last general, the last general obeys!" Cao Yuanrang didn't dare to disobey, gave a salute to the handsome case, and retreated to the end of the general's team. That was where he was supposed to stand, and he had been trying to take a few steps forward, but he couldn't.

"Anything else? You go on! Luo Yi reprimanded Cao Yuanrang and asked his son with a smile. He has this heir under his knees, so he is happier to see his son strategizing than when he leads his troops to victory.

"We currently have six and a half counties under the rule of Youzhou, and we will take out a small county in Liaodong to govern the two brothers of the Xue family, and the loss is not big. After the two families become one, let's take over the Xue family's plate, and no one else can find anything wrong! Luo Cheng nodded and continued to add.

"Yes, since the surnamed Li can tolerate Xue Shixiong to occupy his plate, naturally there is no reason to drive away someone's son as soon as the other party just dies!" Several Youzhou veterans nodded one after another. Achieving one's own goals without resorting to war is the strategy of a good general. Like Cao Yuanrang, who shouts and kills all day long, he is not worthy of lifting shoes for the major general.

"As for Li Zhongjian and Yang Yichen, I have thought of a better way to deal with them!" Seeing that his plan was accepted by everyone, Luo Cheng paused and continued.

"What is my son's plan, just say. No one will blame you if you're wrong! Luo Yi stroked his beard, and his heart was already happy. Isn't it just to find a way out for the family? With such a son who is both civil and military, why worry about the family business?

"In my opinion, the imperial court may have long been dissatisfied with the surname Li. The reason why we didn't deal with him is probably because we pressed too hard! Luo Cheng nodded, smiling and giving a well-known answer.

"You mean let's be more deferential to the court first?" Luo Yi nodded and asked. He also considered this, but after making a slight concession, he was afraid that those people in the court would be wrong, and he would have to move forward instead.

"Not only should you be deferential, but you should also be up and down, and feed a few 'humerus' so that they can't talk nonsense! Then let's retreat the Tiger Iron Horse a little bit to show our sincerity! Luo Cheng sorted out his thoughts and slowly said all the plans.

As we all know, Yang Guang basically doesn't care about political affairs. And Pei Ju, Yu Shiji and others only care about making money, and Youzhou only needs to feed a few powerful ministers, which is enough to maintain the current situation of de facto separation, and morally, do not give others the excuse to raise troops.

"The court may not be fooled. But as long as we retreat our soldiers and horses a little, Yang Yichen will have the spare strength to exterminate the bandits in the rivers and plains. After all, we still nominally respect the imperial court, and Zhao Wanhai in Hejian and Gao Shida in the plain have already established their own countries! Luo Cheng paced back and forth while deducing the actions that the neighboring families were about to take after the Tiger Horse retreated. Since our Youzhou expelled the officials appointed by the imperial court, Yang Yichen Lao'er has been setting up his military camp by the canal at the junction of Hejian and Zhuo County, ready to swim upstream at any time. But Zhao Wanhai and Gao Shida were like two knives behind his back, forcing him to sleep and eat. If the Tiger Horse suddenly retreated at this moment, Yang Yichen would inevitably turn around first and clean up Zhao Wanhai, the king of Great Zhao who was close at hand. Zhao Wanhai's "homeland" Fox Lake is backed by Shanggu and Boling, and is attacked by Yang Yichen in front, and he is bound to shift the pressure to his back. At that time, even if the surnamed Li doesn't want to use troops again, I'm afraid he won't be able to help him! ”

"What a ploy to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf!" After listening to Luo Cheng's analysis, Liu Yifang and the others couldn't help but secretly shudder. This strategy is interlocking, and it hardly wastes any strength in Youzhou, but it has caused endless disasters to Boling.

If Zhao Wanhai retreats to Boling, won't Li Zhongjian face it? If Yang Yichen followed Zhao Wanhai into Boling County, would the Boling army, which was already faintly divided, treat each other with a couch, or use a war horse and a horizontal sword to greet this veteran of a hundred battles who was infinitely loyal to the Great Sui Dynasty?

If you want to open up a piece of peach in the troubled world, how can it be so simple!
